This is completely different from what he got from the interrogation!
Or maybe the medicine my cousin gave me is ineffective.
Or, it could be that Li Changmu didn't take his medicine.
But he used the medicine after many experiments to confirm that it was effective, and he fed it to the patient himself, so how could it be ineffective?
There is only one possibility, this medicine is useless to Li Changmu.
"Go and bring Li Changmu to me."
Zhongli Zhou waved his hand and asked the secret guard to go out and pick up the person.
As soon as the person walked away, there was the sound of birds fluttering on the windowsill. Zhonglizhou opened the window and a carrier pigeon landed on the window.
When he opened it, he saw a reply from Ji Changying. After briefly explaining the origin, she emphasized that these people were given to Li Changmu by her.
Zhongli Zhou frowned. Does Ji Changying know that Li Changmu is not an ordinary person?
However, there is no definite evidence yet, so Zhonglizhou thought about it and did not reply for the time being.
Not long after, the secret guard came back from outside and knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door: "Your Highness, Li Changmu has left Liangzhou City."
Zhongli Zhou looked up in surprise: "What? Already gone?"
"Yes, the people at the government office said he came here early in the morning to settle the money, and left Liangzhou shortly after returning to the inn. Before leaving, he left a message for the innkeeper, saying that if you come to find him, he should tell you that something happened at home and he needs to return as soon as possible. If you need any food in the future, please write to Miss Ji and he will do his best to provide it for you."
Zhonglizhou didn't expect this result. He pondered for a moment: "The grain seeds he sent are all of high quality, without any problems?"
"Yes, that's why the Household Department readily settled the bill for him. If Your Highness is worried, I will order someone to bring him back."
"Not necessary for now!" Zhongli Zhou calmed himself down.
No matter what secrets this person has, as long as it does not harm him or Liangzhou, just ignore it for now.
Other problems lie ahead.
"How long did it take Duan Yunzheng to bring Cui Qi here?"
"I will go ahead. According to their speed, they will reach Liangzhou in less than half an hour."
"Okay, check the tail again, make sure everything is absolutely safe! Cui Hao's death was completely accidental."
"yes!"
Zhongli Zhou was also busy, and quickly told the governor, Prince Heping, that Cui Jin was about to arrive in Liangzhou.
After hearing this, Prince Ping's face was filled with impatience: "These people from the Cui family are not done yet! They come one after another, do they think our Liangzhou is the Cui family's back garden? Father is really getting confused! The Honglu Temple is not specialized in investigating crimes, what's the point of coming here!"
Zhang Juzheng was frightened by these outrageous words and looked around nervously. After confirming that they were the only three of them around, he quickly spoke up to advise, "Your Highness, be careful with your words!"
Zhong Lizhou chuckled: "Maybe someone from the Cui family volunteered to come over and investigate because others are worried!"
Zhang Juzheng's face was full of caution. "In any case, we have done nothing wrong and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on our door. No matter how they investigate, it has nothing to do with us. However, we cannot guard against the intentions of villains. We still have to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from doing anything to frame us."
Speaking of this King Ping, his face wrinkled into a ball. He really couldn't wait for the war to start.
I would rather go to the battlefield and shed blood and sweat than deal with those people. Day by day, I am not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.
——
Cui Jin's body had not fully recovered yet, and he insisted on dragging his sick body to Liangzhou, ignoring County Magistrate Gao's attempts to retain him and Duan Yunzheng's advice.
Helplessly, the two men had to make the carriage more comfortable and sent two doctors to accompany it. Only then did they arrive in Liangzhou safely.
Two horses pulled a spacious and luxurious carriage along the street, with guards on both sides leading the way, looking like a noble person traveling.
When they arrived at the city gate, the people queuing up couldn't help but give way. Duan Yunzheng rode his horse, showed his badge, and the group entered the city unimpeded.
Cui Jin opened his eyes when he heard the sounds of yamen runners investigating everywhere and the people discussing heatedly on the street.
"Qingzhu, go find out what happened in Liangzhou recently?"
Qingzhu got off the carriage and went to find someone to inquire about the news.
Cui Jin frowned. This time he came here under the pretext of investigating Cui Hao's death.
But the Cui family also gave him a task, which was to find a way to sell the Cui family's grain to Liangzhou at a high price.
The Cui family owns several thousand hectares of land and has been trying to buy grain from various sources since last year. Unfortunately, they have stockpiled too much and the weather has not been good. Some of the grain has shown signs of sprouting, and if they are not dealt with, they will become a waste.
If this matter can be handled well, when he returns to Beijing, he will no longer be the unknown illegitimate son of the Cui family. He will most likely be entrusted with important tasks, and his future rise to prominence will be a piece of cake.
If it doesn't work out...
Cui Jin's heart sank and he stopped thinking about it.
Qingzhu returned, his expression not looking particularly good. "Master, the people on the street are all discussing the fact that the government office has released a batch of grains today. Those with Liangzhou household registration can purchase them at fifty coins per catty. Furthermore, the grains are full-bodied and of superior quality, even better than what was sold in previous years."
Cui Jin's pale and gloomy face revealed a look of astonishment and shock: "What? Liangzhou already has grain?!"
Qingzhu nodded and said, "It is said that the people who went to the capital to offer tribute last night have returned."
Cui Jin felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest, and a mouthful of blood was stuck there, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He rushed on the journey regardless of his health just to get back before those people who went to Beijing to reach cooperation with King Heping.
Turns out the other party has already come back?
He desperately suppressed the blood in his mouth: "Even if we count the grain from the capital, there is still not enough here in Liangzhou."
"I heard from them that Prince Ping found a grain merchant outside, and he provided this high-quality grain. This time, he delivered over 4,000 kilograms. I heard there might be more later, and the price is fair."
Cui Jin suddenly thought of something and his eyes darkened. "Where did that grain merchant come from? Or rather, he couldn't be the one we met..."
Qingzhu glanced at him carefully and nodded.
"puff!!!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Jin felt his brain instantly filled with blood. He couldn't hold back his breath and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. His mouth was full of blood. He shouted fiercely: "It's him again!!!"
He has a sworn feud with this person!
"Young Master!!!!" Qingzhu shouted in panic.
Duan Yunzheng, who was outside, felt something was wrong when he heard the shout. He rode over here, lifted the curtain and took a look. He then quickly brought the doctor into the carriage to treat Cui Jin.
“Speed up!”
